ua18cld06ak – ult prox lp m18 diff analogue 0-10vdc cab
Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD06AK is an M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic sensor with an adjustable 100–600 mm sensing range, 0–10 V DC analogue output, 18–30 V DC supply, 2 m cable and IP67 protection for industrial distance and level measurement.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD06AK Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD06AK is an M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for continuous non-contact distance measurement in industrial automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD series, it combines a compact cylindrical housing with an analogue voltage output for straightforward integration with PLCs, controllers and measurement equipment.
The UA18CLD06AK provides an adjustable 100–600 mm sensing range and a 0–10 V DC analogue output with an output slope of 20 mV/mm. Ultrasonic technology measures targets using reflected sound waves, making it useful for applications where object colour, contrast or visual appearance could make optical sensing more challenging.
Operating from an 18–30 V DC supply, the sensor features a robust M18 PBT housing and an integral 2 m cable. Its IP67 protection, electrical protection functions and -15 to +70 °C operating temperature range support dependable use on industrial machinery and process-control equipment.

Reliable Ultrasonic Measurement for Industrial Automation
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD06AK measures distance by transmitting ultrasonic pulses towards a target and evaluating the returning echo. Because this measuring principle does not depend on visible light, it can provide dependable detection of many objects regardless of their colour or surface contrast.
Its 0–10 V DC analogue output provides a continuously varying voltage proportional to target distance, allowing straightforward connection to compatible PLC analogue inputs and industrial controllers. The compact M18 format, integrated cable and IP67 construction make the sensor suitable for continuous measurement duties on automated machinery.
Typical Applications
- Continuous distance and position measurement.
- Tank, vessel and container level monitoring.
- Object positioning on conveyors and production lines.
- Packaging and material handling machinery.
- Roll diameter and material monitoring.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- Detection of targets with varying colour or contrast.
- PLC and process-control systems using 0–10 V analogue inputs.
